Use the 7.90.007 image, write it to your SD card etc., then upgrade using these builds. Once you've booted from SD, use the SD card to create your USB boot drive. Remove SD card, boot from your USB drive.

Alternatively use 7.90.007 img.gz to create your USB drive, then extract the bootcode.bin, start.elf and fixup.dat files from the latest Milhouse tar file and copy these files over the same files on your USB drive.

These kind of issues are not easy to pin down. If you run "top -Hp $(pidof kodi.bin)" you should see all the threads for the kodi.bin process - if the thread creating the CPU load is called LanguageInvoker then it's an add-on causing the problem (unfortunately can't say which add-on). If it's kodi.bin itself then using strace on the kodi.bin process might yield some clues (strace can be installed from one of the LE add-ons, System Tools I think).

So it sounds from your comments above that this is to be expected with software decoding, in which case it might be worth Mike splashing out £2.40 (say $3) on a MPEG-2 licence because that same test file plays fine on my Pi1 with a licence.
Thanks Popcornmix. :-)

Hi Guys,

I've got the mpeg-2 licenses. When I say omx or mmal, I'm talking about having the hw renderers enabled in the player settings.

I just tried 'Sync playback to display' again, and I still see no difference, either with omx-hw or sw rendering.

I've got a recording with a glass-clink that occurs about 26 seconds into the recording, and I'm seeing the sound off by about 2 seconds at that point. (clink occurs ~2 seconds before you see the glasses touch)

I will try to extract the first minute of that recording later, so I can provide a link, since it's been such a good check (for me) to see how far of the audio is.

I haven't seen any settings for interlace, even though I've got my menus set to 'expert'. Where are those?

today I decided to give this another try and installed a fresh 1026.
Are PVR addons supposed to work out of the box or am I missing something?
because IPTV Simple client was unable to start, says "Can't load shared library"

Hi Mike,
In that case sounds like your licence key isn't being recognised.
Press the letter o key on your keyboard while playing one of these videos an information display should appear, the top item "Video decoder" should have (HW) on the end of the line, if it says (SW) you need to investigate why your licence key isn't being used.
To change the deinterlacing method, wave your mouse around while watching one of these videos, at the right hand side of the display is the settings icon (a cog) move the mouse over this and a menu will pup up, with "video settings" as an option, select that and the top item in the list is the deinterlace settings.
I found all this out by doing searches.
Regards, Kevin.

I am experiencing intermittent CEC drops and other weird/changed behaviours (for example Kodi doesn't wake up when I turn the TV back ON from sand-by, I need to press a remote button for CEC to go through an apparent complete reconfig).

Last night's build included a major update to libcec. Is your problem changed with last night's build?
For logs, enable debug logging and CEC in the component specific logging. Reboot and reproduce the problem.
Post an issue here: https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/issues
(make sure you are using latest build).

I was very hopeful when I read last night's changelog! But no change... That's what triggered my post. Better do it now than too late!
